rites. She Is one of the most bigoted In re-
hgious matters of all that bigoted family
and has not for years past so much as
spoken to her two sisters, both of whom
married sciOns of the French nobility. 1t is
a singular fact that while several of the
ladies' of the Rothschild family have mar

known fact that Baron Alfred de Roths-
cfIid was at one time deeply in love with
the beautiful and widowed Mrs. Woodward

and now the Marchioness of Anglesey), but
his father Baron James, of London, sternly
prohibited the match, and as he, by the En-
glish law, had the power of disinheriting g
his son, the young man was forced to yield
to the parental dictum. The Baron van
Huar is said TO be one of the handsomest
men in Europe; tall, athletic and finely
formed, with regular features and brilliant,
expressive eyes. He belongs to one of the
noblest families in Belgium, his young
cousin and the head of the house being the
Prince de Looz Corswardem The
Prince was present at the wed
ding and was the first witness
for the bridegroom, an Office that CORE

''best man" at an English or American one.
He is a very handsome young fellow OF
twenty-seven and has more than onse been
in negotiation for the hand of an American
heiress, he being as poor in pocket as he is
noble by birth. But he is dissipated
youth, and his follies and frolics have here

Van Haar, the bride of the other day, is
plain and stout and strong-minded, and
something over thirty years of age. She
always used to declare that she never would
marry, and strenuously resisted all the at
tempts of her family TO make a match be-
tween herself and one of, her Rothschild
cousins. She has had her own way, and
has espoused the man of her choice As an
American woman can not but applaud the
energy and independence with which she
put her matrimonial projects into execu.

And softly said: " o heart, reiOicei

That all adm red her, all save him.

Don't Give In.

Boys, when troubles crowd about you
(YOu'll find plenty in this life),
And when fortune seems TO fiout you,
And you're weary with the strife;
Then's the time to show your metal;
Keep your heads up; don't give
Face the trouble, grasp the nettle
And determine you will win.
What's the good OF turning craveni
That will never gain the fight,
That will bring you TO no haven
or success and calm delight
No, boys, no, be up and doing,
Put your shoulders to the task,
Fortunes shy, and needs pursuing

Indian Summer.

AS frosty age renews the carly fire
Whose eager fame in hazy warmth appears,
And brin IS again. across the shadowy years,
The vanished dreams that kindle and inspire I;
AS time repeats the hour of young desire
In smoother laughter and more tranquil
tears
And childish pleasures mixed with needless
fears
Stir through the pulses of the withered sire
So when November, sharp with frost and sleet
And moaning winds about the rocky height
Has reaped the shining forest to his hand,
The charm of Spring returns in mellower heat
To vail the leafiess hills with purple light
And brood in peace above the naked land.
